In French cemeteries, "perpetuité" only lasts for a hundred years. If the deceased's family wants to keep their dead buried, they must pay the rent.
If not, the municipality will excavate the tomb to liberate the space for a new family.
After the latest excavation, Robert and Clothilde find themselves faced with a ghost much older than themselves - along with the daunting task of solving a century-old mystery.
Is it still possible to find eternal rest for their new friend?
R.W. Wallace writes in most genres, though she tends to end up in mystery more often than not. Dead bodies keep popping up all over the place whenever she sits down in front of her keyboard.The stories mostly take place in Norway or France; the country she was born in and the one that has been her home for two decades. Don't ask her why she writes in English - she won't have a sensible answer for you.Her Ghost Detective short story series appears in Pulphouse Magazine, starting in issue #9.
